Suzzallo Library Reading Room
Event details
Please join us for an evening of joy, gratitude and inspiration, celebrating how your generosity sparks student opportunities, global impact and a bright future.
Chair Ken Denman and the UW Foundation Board invite you to gather in the iconic Suzzallo Library as we welcome the University of Washington’s 34th president, Robert J. Jones, to the Husky community — and recognize Ellen Ferguson, recipient of the 2025 Gates Volunteer Service Award.
Together, we’ll shine a light on the life-changing opportunities for students, patients, and communities here and around the world that your support makes possible.
